"The Lakers (12-4) nearly squandered a 10-point lead in the final six minutes and 36 seconds, allowing the Jazz to cut the lead to one with 41.3 seconds remaining on a three-pointer from Lauri Markkanen. The Utah crowd that had been cheering loudly for the Lakers finally erupted for the home team when the Finnish forward knocked down the shot."
"The guard continued to struggle with his three-point shot, missing seven of his first eight shots from beyond the arc Sunday, but again dazzled with his playmaking. He intercepted a pass, bounced the ball between Kevin Love's legs while running the fastbreak and scooped up a lob pass to Jaxson Hayes. The roar from the pro-Lakers road crowd was just as loud as anything the Jazz did."
